MLB Draft: Day Three Analysis

The first few rounds of Day Three (rounds 11-40) are typically much more exciting to follow than the last few rounds of Day Two. Instead of drafting mostly lesser prospects who WILL sign in rounds 7-10 (most often for well below slot value), players chosen in rounds 11-14 are prospects a club HOPES will sign. They are typically higher level prospects from both the high school and college ranks who fell out of the top 10 rounds due to signability and/or medical issues. For many of the prospects who fell, college players especially, their true feelings of wanting to play professional baseball come out. As a result, they have a change of heart and their desired bonus amount falls back to reality. Good area scouts who are in touch with their prospects are then able to relay this information to the draft room. Deals are cut and picks are then made.
